@readyforanything1 it talks about weed in the bible moron moses uses it in a holy oil- first off you have to understand that consuming cannabis is about as dangerous as eating a spoonful of sugar a day. Yes it has its dangers, but if taken responsibly it pretty much harmless. have you seen the movie super high me? no! well you should!!! and weed was illegal because of racism toward the Mexicans, greed from booze and tobacco company's, and fear. not because uncle Sam is looking after our youth

Ok, I dont understand the comparison between marijuana and religion, marijuana does not help you get closer to God, it kills your brain, firstly, it is illegal and secondly it has no corolation between drug use and religion.

LOL! Good one, I took adderall and dexedrine, I preferred Dexedrine, they're pretty close to the same too. I think the whole meth campaign is blown out of proportion. Those government ads overexaggerate it to the nth degree. I guess they have to discredit the drug so it's not competeing with their CIA imported drugs of choice, heroin and coke.

Oh and by the way, they do advocate meth use on campus already. It's called adderall. I have taken adderall many times and done meth a couple times. I am not proud of it, just putting it out there so you don't doubt my credibility. Adderall and meth feel almost the same. I prefer adderall.

bong hits 4 Jesus does not advocate pot use. It uses a pot reference in a joke.

I personally would not find it funny if it said "Mainlines for Jesus" but yes I would be just as happy defending that too.

One point though, this was not on campus.

If, however, they were on campus, I would not defend a sign that said "You should smoke weed because Jesus did it" any more than I would support one that was about meth. It is the difference between free speech and advertising at a place kids MUST be.

[botchalism]

So advocating meth use on campus should be protected too?

[ThirdEyeLight]

Hey, don't get me wrong. Do I go around ridiculing the religious? No. Would I be so heartless and thoughtless as to depict Jesus or Muhammad smoking a bong.  No.

I just think it is important to protect things like free speech no matter what. Fear of Muslim or Christian retaliation will NEVER factor into my view of stipulations of free speech. Things like threats, libel, and slander are where I draw the line.

There are many people that I wish were not representing pot but it is their right.

[botchalism]

I'm merely stating that the pro-legalization movement is brought down by idiots like this by alienating the Christian majority. The only thing that offends me is the double standard that making any profane joke at the expense of Christianity is totally fine but you do the same thing to Judaism, Islam, or any other religion it's considered prejudiced and sacrilege. Any consideration for our own people? Or are we all bending over and taking it in the ass just to be Politically Correct.

[ThirdEyeLight]

There are of course many stipulations. Bong hits for Jesus is unfortunately not one of those stipulations. I am sorry that you are offended by such things but maybe you shouldn't take life so seriously. It isn't you who is going to hell for writing it after all. Unless you laughed at it. Then you are most certainly going to hell.

[ThirdEyeLight]

Yes I absolutely would advocate that. I don't care about the Muslim world's outrage.
